What did you do to your Mk2 do today?

[Pauly76]

Got my grille visor and installed it. Then took my son to a cruise in.

[izzo]

Changed the oil, 20w50 dyno juice, and tightened the clamps on the PS tank hoses.

I really need an OEM MK2 PS fluid tank...

Thanks Ordered me some last night.

Painted the hubs on my new rear rotors, installed and bled my new clutch master and lost all patience trying to bend the last of the hard lines for my proportioning valves....

Hit the brakes and it happens as well??
Test control arm bushing with the car sitting on level ground put your foot behind the tire and push it forwards. If the wheel moves that's it. It will also go back to front.

Inner tie rods can do this but normally not very loud.

No it doesn't do it at all when I hit the brakes. And the wheel doesnt budge much when I do that. They could be slightly worn I guess.

Motor/tranny mounts?

Motor mounts are in great shape but i bet it could be the tranny mounts. How would I find out for sure if its the tranny mounts?

Shifting feel funny at all? more a sign of a rear motor mount but it could signify tranny as well.

[the sneakiest panda evar]

drove it to pick up some stuff for the caddy when i heard a loud noise from the engine bay, then the battery light kicked on. drove 45 minutes home (thank god for diesel) opened the hood and found out the alternator bolt rattled out and the alternator fell off, belt was perfectly intact not a mark on it. put it all back together and put the battery on the charger

Yeah steering feels fine, or at least what I think is fine. The rack bushing is pretty worn so my steering might be odd becasue of that, other than that it feels ok.

Right on, you'll feel better about the amount of money spent after you install it.

pulled the trans out to do the clutch only to find a brand new clutch installed absolutely soaked in gear oil. Its sunday so no one is available to deliver the input shaft seal ofcourse (since the only place that carries it is VW). now i wait for parts, the only major down side to german cars.

Moving out, and loaded it with luggage:

Moving out, and loaded it with luggage:

[R-Dubya]

Car stopped going into gear when I was driving, was worried that my trans went until I looked under the hood and found the shifter relay shaft bushing completely torn off. Managed to get it back in for now but obviously it's going to need a new bushing. Apparently the bushing is supposed to look like a ball, mine just looked like a ring

Anyone know where I can get just the bushing? Don't feel like paying 30 bucks for the whole shaft with a new bushing attached.

[volcom06]

New tires


Front and rear strut mounts

[mouldy]

installed a H&R cup kit,


and tried on the new shoes

I bought this one on eBay. It is Custom made using delrin I think. Comes with the ball only for $15.

[Sycoticmynd29]

Took my car to safelite to get a new windshield, about 45 minutes after my appointment started I got a phone call.

They can't install a new windshield or put the old one back in because of this:



Any of you guys ever need to get that replaced / repaired?

Thanks, but I don't weld, so I'm not doing the replacement. I was more curious about a general price estimate.
